Talk:1981 Atlantic hurricane season

Untitled
Okay I removed the note under name retirements about Katrina being retired in 2005 because a. the name Katrina has *not* been retired yet and announcements about retired names won't be made until Spring 2006 so the statement is untrue anyway. b. Even if the announcement had been made, as I said in my edit summary, retirements of names used on a list more than 20 years in the future is utterly irrelevent to the entry in question. Names to be retired are only mentioned in the entry for the year in which said name is retired. There is no need to confuse things by mentioning name retirements more than one list cycle (can't think of a better term for it) in the future!

Images for each storm

 * Tropical Storm Arlene
 * Tropical Storm Bret
 * Hurricane Cindy
 * Hurricane Emily
 * Hurricane Floyd- Can't find it as a hurricane. Hurricanehink
 * Tropical Storm Gert- See above. Hurricanehink
 * Hurricane Harvey
 * Hurricane Irene
 * Tropical Storm Jose
 * Hurricane Katrina
 * Subtropical Storm Three


 * All of them done. Hurricanehink 03:04, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * But why three? Maybe it is Subtropical Storm Thirteen juan andrés 04:29, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * An error with Cindy confused me. Cindy was not a Hurricane as the picture says juan andrés 04:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Gert is for female, right? Because I've never heard that name before juan andrés 04:41, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Finally, after too much trouble it;s done! juan andrés 05:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Good work. Whoops on Cindy, and that Subtropical Storm was the 3rd Subtropical Storm of the season. The other two became tropical. Hurricanehink 13:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)


 * I presume that's right on SS3. I named it that because the best-track called it "SUBTROP 3". Jdorje 17:57, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Eight
I became aware of this system today when looking for the next unnamed tropical depression to do rainfall graphics for prior to 1984. It had significant impact in Texas, so I included it. Expect a rainfall page for the system to be done during the afternoon and evening tomorrow. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It is done. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Two
The associated rainfall graphics will be generated tonight. I'm digging for more information for the prospective TC rainfall page, so it will likely be updated again sometime during the next week or so. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:49, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * All information I can find through NCDC has now been found. Thegreatdr (talk) 03:08, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

The quandry of 21 tropical depressions
The only way to get to 21 this season, which was stated in the Monthly Weather Review tropical systems article in 1988 for 1981, is to include the 3 extra tropical depressions in the non-developmental database, which is not publicly released and therefore not able to be referenced. Of these 3, two impacted North America (one the East coast, the other Mexico) and will likely have rainfall files/pages dedicated to them in the next couple month or two. This means HPC will end up being the source of the information, rather than NHC. Oy. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Only 3 more references needed
Once we find references for TD7, TD15, and the unusualness of the Bret landfall upon the Delmarva, I think we can consider GACing this puppy. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:47, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
 * References should be taken care of now. It is GACed.  Thegreatdr (talk) 03:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Bret and the Delmarva
Please, consider edits carefully regarding Bret's impact on the Delmarva within TC history. Hurricanes have impacted that peninsula since at least 1878. Thegreatdr (talk) 01:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Missing depressions
I'm continuing my work with historic cyclone tracks and... I've come across some depressions in the IBTrACS database which have accompanying ATCF best track files, which make the numbering system used on this article incorrect. Not sure how they should go about being updated or how many seasons may be affected by this. Some brief reading further up in the talk page seems to indicate these storms weren't in the archives previously, but I'm not too sure about that. Any info?

An example: 1

Arlene Merger
I believe that Tropical Storm Arlene (1981) fails WP:NWX due to minimal impact/meteorological significance and should be merged into this article. There isn't anything there that couldn't be said here. Noah, AATalk 12:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Support merge. I'm not going to base merging per WP:NWX since it's an essay on notability and not an official notability guideline, but rather the tropical cyclone failing WP:GNG, WP:EVENTCRIT, WP:NSUSTAINED, and WP:LASTING. This tropical cyclone has zero significant, secondary coverage, and virtually every single source is a primary one. The only secondary sources I found that mention the tropical cyclone are non-significant coverage of the tropical cyclone and brief mentions in a book here and here and yet another source (in the article) containing a very brief mention of the tropical cyclone here. Thus, it fails EVENTCRIT and GNG per the lack of secondary sources, as well as no lasting impact. Therefore, I support a merge to 1981 Atlantic hurricane season. ~ Tails   Wx  (🐾, me!) 06:18, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - minimal impacts, could be said easily in season section. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:06, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
